Akkerman #22 Hopjesbruin

[white_lotus]

Earlier this year I picked up the two Akkerman brown inks at the Long Island Pen Show. Of course the bottles are wonderful. Supposedly Diamine makes these inks for Akkerman. So in theory they tend to match something already in the Diamine line. But I couldn't tell you which ink that would be here.

 

#22 is a nice sandy brown, bordering on muted orange. Apparently one of the more popular Akkerman inks. I can see why. It's good. For some reason on a couple papers there was too much red in the image and I wasn't able to take it out without messing up the ink image.

 

The ink is fairly water resistant.

Thanks for the review. That ink has something to say on all types of paper, nice.

It's a great-looking ink. Reminds me of Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown. I think I'll pick up a bottle when I'm next in The Netherlands.

If you are going for the bottle.... go for it..

 

If you really just want the ink, you can grab Diamine Sepia.. is the same.

Sepia is upper left triangle, Akkerman is lower right triangle.... or maybe is the opposite...

Thanks for this review. You might be interested in the origin of the ink's name.
